Excerpt from A Geographical and Historical Description of Ancient Italy, Vol. 1 of 2: With a Map, and a Plan of Rome
As Italy, from its political circumstances, has always afforded greater facilities to the traveller and topographer for exploring the remains of antiquity with which it abounds, than Greece and Asia Minor, its rivals in celebrity and classical interest, it is reasonable to expect that its comparative geography should in consequence be better understood and more definitively settled, than that of either of those two countries. Nor will this expectation prove groundless, when we examine the materials possessed by the geographer for constructing a map illustrative of the ancient condition and history of Italy, every part having now been so thoroughly investigated by foreign as well as native antiquaries, that there is hardly a site of any historical importance which has not been identified with sufficient accuracy and precision.

Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book sets out to encompass all the knowledge available to the author about ancient Italy, from its various names, boundaries, and principal geographical features, through to its complex history, including some discussion of the social development of the many peoples who inhabited it. The author begins by describing the diverse ethnic groups who made up the population of ancient Italy, the origins of the Etruscans, the history of the Ligurians, and the invasion of Italy by the Gauls. The book then goes into the specific regions of the peninsula: Etruria, Umbria and Picenum, the country of the Sabines, the Equi, Marsi, and other peoples the author terms Aborigines, Rome itself, Latium, Campania, Samnium and the Frentani, Apulia, Lucania, Bruttii, Venetia and Histria, and Liguria and Cisalpine Gaul. The penultimate section of the book deals with the topography, history, development, and monuments of the city of Rome itself, with particular and detailed attention paid to the fourteen regions into which Augustus had divided it. The book concludes with an overarching analysis of the geography, culture, and history of the peoples of the peninsula, and the significance of their achievements and contributions to the development of the Roman civilization that would come to dominate the entire Mediterranean world, before examining the ways in which the civilization of the Roman Republic was shaped by the societies that had preceded it, particularly by those of the Etruscans and the Greeks. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330370315_0
